We are seeking an experienced, confident, and inspiring English Teacher ready to take the next step into a leadership-focused role within a specialist setting.

This is a unique opportunity to join a small, nurturing provision where you can have a genuine impact—not only in the classroom but across the wider development of the English curriculum and team.

The Role

• 5 days per week, comprising:
• 3 days teaching English
• 2 days dedicated to TLR responsibilities
• Deliver English across a mixed curriculum (Entry Level to GCSE)
• Lead on the development of English provision across the setting
• Support with mentoring and development of colleagues
• Contribute to curriculum design, planning, and quality assurance
• Create a trauma-informed, engaging, and supportive learning environment

About the Provision

• Small, specialist setting supporting pupils with Autism and SEMH
• Classes of up to 9 pupils, with strong additional staff support
• Focus on relational practice, engagement, and personalised learning
• Highly collaborative and supportive team culture

The Ideal Candidate Will:

• Be a qualified and experienced English Teacher
• Have the confidence to take a lead role within the department
• Be passionate about mentoring and supporting colleagues
• Demonstrate strong understanding of trauma-informed approaches
• Have experience (or strong interest) in curriculum development
• Be nurturing, resilient, and adaptable in their approach
• Be highly organised and a strong forward planner

What Makes This Role Stand Out

• Opportunity to step into a leadership-focused position with dedicated time for TLR duties
• Ability to genuinely shape and influence the English curriculum
• Small class sizes with excellent support
• A setting where relationships, wellbeing, and progress are prioritised equally

The Process

We are moving quickly to secure the right candidate:

• Informal visit to meet the Headteacher (ASAP)
• Formal interview including a lesson observation

This process can be arranged promptly to support candidates needing to give notice ahead of the end of May.
